Transit Oriented Development Ordinance: Adoption Expected in April

The new Transit Oriented Development Districts are anticipated to be adopted on April 15, 2019 by the Charlotte City Council. This exciting new ordinance will replace the current TOD-M, TOD-R, and TOD-O Zoning Districts. Staff has worked extensively engaging the Ordinance Advisory Committee, as well as the greater community for the past 18 months to draft the ordinance.

Following approval, any existing TOD zoned projects (without a conditional/optional plan) seeking land development approval subject to the existing standards must submit complete plans, fee and applications on or before June 30th, 2019 to the City of Charlotte. All new petitions will use the new districts effective immediately. For details regarding the new districts, including the translation text, please see the following: https://charlottenc.gov/planning/Rezoning/RezoningPetitions/2018Petitions/Pages/2018-169.aspx.
